redneck life

i grew up in a batten board cabin

at the dead end of a gravel street

i got my first payin' job when i turned 10

cause money didn't grow on trees

cheap cigarettes with the windows up

was just part of the air i breathed

i didn't choose the redneck life

the redneck life chose me

yeah me and my daddy built my first car

it's called the motor up in a tree

we were the beer bartenders with the ice cutout

rat racing them junkyard dreams

yeah

me and my crew

man

we grew up

on high-tune u83

i didn't choose the redneck life

no

the redneck life chose me

i didn't choose the redneck life

the redneck life chose me

what you see is what you get

and what you get is what you see

i'll take a mountain dew over a silver spoon

any ole day of the week

i didn't choose the redneck life

the redneck life chose me

and i grew up swimming in cut-off jeans

down at the bridge at the castor creek

we'd bend our half bills as far as we could bend them

we spent the fall sittin' high in a tree

yeah

huntin' and fishin' wasn't just a trend

it was what we did to eat

i didn't choose the redneck life

the redneck life chose me

yeah

i didn't choose the redneck life

the redneck life chose me

what you see is what you get

and what you get is what you see

i'll take a mountain dew over a silver spoon

any ole day of the week

i didn't choose the redneck life

the redneck life chose me
